Everyone needs to be safe,to be loved and to have a sense of belonging.These are inborn and natural basic needs.In an effort to have these needs satisfied,many of us tend to please others.And it works for a while.We find that we experience less conflict with others,but the conflict within ourselves grows.Saying “no” produces a feeling of guilt and saying “yes” brings anger.
My father was in the military,so we moved frequently.Being shy,I didn’t make friends.What’s more,I grew up in a household where grades,image and how others saw our family were very important.In our household,a “C” was unacceptable,a “B” should have been an “A” and an “A” meant the lesson was too easy.I was too skinny,my sister was too fat and my brother’s lips and ears were too big for his tiny head.
To stop pleasing others is easier said than done.It’s a long process,one in which I am consistently working to be perfect.The turning point for me came shortly after I got married.The very first thing we did to end the cycle of catering to others was develop our own identity as individuals and then as a couple.And then we developed a strong set of core values and a vision for our future.The third and one of the most valuable things we did during this process was develop our own personal influence on others and we valued deeply the opinions of the wiser and more successful people around us.
Besides,we should understand that sometimes helping people actually hurts them.The struggle is necessary for success.The struggle strengthens character,making people determined.So sometimes allowing people to struggle is the best thing you can do for them.
24.How are we likely to feel when pleasing others
A.Satisfied. B.Guilty.
C.Happy. D.Angry.
25.What can we infer from the author’s experience as a child
A.He grew up doing a lot of housework.
B.His parents had great expectations of the children.
C.He realised the value of opinions from others.
D.It was hard for him to adjust to the moving life.
26.What is the third paragraph mainly about
A.What steps the author took to go on pleasing others.
B.Why the author further developed his values and character.
C.How the author stepped out of the cycle of pleasing others.
D.When the author turned to others for their valuable opinions.
27.What does the author suggest doing
A.Helping others without delay. B.Thinking twice before offering help.
C.Refusing to help others. D.Leaving someone in trouble alone.
C
As you move out of your teens and into your 20s and 30s,your musical tastes start to solidify and you likely quit keeping up with popular music.Now,research has found the average age at which your music library is unlikely to change:33.
The study’s author reached this conclusion by analyzing data on US Spotify users and comparing it to artist popularity data from music intelligence company The Echo Nest.
To determine the age at which we stop seeking out new tunes,the author gathered self-reported age data from Spotify and looked at users’ “Taste Profiles”,which tracks how many times listeners have streamed individual artists.These artists were then matched to their popularity rank on The Echo Nest.
The average teen listens almost only to music among the Billboard,the 200 highest-ranking albums in the country,but this music represents a smaller part of their streaming as they age.In their teens,they listen to a lot of the same music,over and over again.Frank T.McAndrew,a professor of psychology at Knox College,explains that’s the“mere exposure effect” at work,and it basically means,the more we’re exposed to something,the more we like it.
There are many reasons why a person may stop streaming the current top musical hits,and the author looked into one by identifying Spotify listeners with large amounts of children’s music and nursery rhymes in their libraries.In other words,when users may have become parents.
But the study concludes with some good news for parents:“If you’re getting older and can’t find yourself staying as relevant as you used to,have no fear—just wait for your kids to become teenagers,and you’ll get exposed to all the popular music of the day once again!”
28.What happens after teens grow older
A.They quit listening to music. B.Their interest in music fades.
C.They change their music libraries. D.Their musical tastes become stable.
29.What is the way of the research
A.Interviews. B.Analyzing data.
C.Observation. D.Tracking popularity.
30.How do teens develop their musical tastes
A.They listen to what they like repeatedly.
B.They act like their favorite popular stars.
C.They experience different styles of music.
D.They like high-ranking music worldwide.
31.What’s the good news for parents in the last paragraph
A.Parents will regain their faith in music.
B.Parents will influence their teens in music.
C.Parents will hear their favorite music again.
D.Parents will enjoy the music for teens again.
D
As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information,are people remembering less If you know your computer will save information,why store it in your own personal memory,your brain Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.
In a recent study,Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments.She and her research team wanted to know whether the Internet is changing memory.In the first experiment,they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer.The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information.The second group understood that the computer would not save it.Later,the second group remembered the information better.People in the first group knew they could find the information again,so they did not try to remember it.
In another experiment,the researchers gave people facts to remember,and told them where to find the information on the Internet.The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹).Surprisingly,people later remembered the folder location better than the facts.When people use the Internet,they do not remember the information.Rather,they remember how to find it.This is called “transactive memory (交互记忆)”.
According to Sparrow,we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet.Instead,computer users are developing stronger transactive memories;that is,people are learning how to organise huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date.This doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent,but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.
32.Why does the passage begin with two questions
A.To introduce the main topic. B.To show the author’s attitude.
C.To describe how to use the Internet. D.To explain how to store information.
33.What can we learn about the first experiment
A.Sparrow’s team typed the information into a computer.
B.The two groups remembered the information equally well.
C.The first group did not try to remember the information.
D.The second group did not understand the information.
34.What do people do in transactive memory
A.To keep the information in mind.
B.To change the quantity of information.
C.To organise information like a computer.
D.To remember how to find the information.
35.What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow’s research
A.We are using memory differently.
B.We are becoming more intelligent.
C.We have poorer memories than before.
D.We need a better way to access information.

When writing the story of your life,don’t let someone else hold the pen. 36 Here are some ideas for writing a life story.
Live happily in your own way.You are not in this world to live up to the expectations of others,nor should you feel that others are here to live up to yours.What success means to each of us is totally different.To others,success may mean being a good parent.Success is only about spending your life happily in your own way.
37 There are thousands of possible paths up the mountain of life,so it really doesn’t matter which path you start off on.The only mistake is by wasting time running around at the base of the mountain,telling everyone that your life path is wrong.
Embrace (欣然接受) new ideas,lessons and challenges.Sometimes growing up means growing apart from old habits,relationships,and situations,and finding something new that truly moves you. 38 You should look very clearly into the unknown and enjoy it.Because when you come in contact with things that you don’t know,that’s when you’re learning,growing,and truly living.
Live honourably through kindness.If you live honourably,no matter how old you get,you’ll never lose your beauty. 39
Spend quality time with people you love. 40 People don’t live forever.Appreciate what you have,who loves you and who cares for you.You’ll never know how much they mean until the day when they are no longer beside you.Someday you will either regret not doing so,or you will say,“I’m glad I did.”
A.Lost time is never found again.
B.Appreciate the little things in life that mean a lot.
C.Change your path when you must,but keep moving forward.
D.There is nothing more wonderful than seeing life as an adventure.
E.For others,it may mean to simply be happy or it can be all of the above.
F.And remember,there is no better thing than reaching out and holding the hand of someone in need.
G.Make wise choices every day because the way you live each day is a sentence in the story of your life.

I was walking in a park on a cool autumn morning.The view was charming,and a pleasant breeze (微风) was kissing my face 41 .

The young boy was apologetic.“Please,mister...please,I’m sorry but I didn’t know what else to do,” he explained.“I threw the brick because no one else would stop...” With tears rolling down his face and off his chin,the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car.“It’s my brother,” he said.“He rolled off the sidewalk and fell out of his wheelchair and I can’t lift him up.” Now sobbing,the boy asked the astonished manager,“Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair He’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me.”

38.D 由上文“Sometimes growing up means growing apart from old habits,relationships,and situations,and finding something new that truly moves you.”和下文“You should look very clearly into the unknown and enjoy it.”可知,设空处与前后句在一同说明本段第一句的内容。故D项“没有什么比把生活看成一场冒险更奇妙的了”符合句意。
39.F 由上文“If you live honourably,no matter how old you get,you’ll never lose your beauty.”可知,设空处要说明本段第一句中的“kindness”。故F项“记住,没有什么比向有需要的人伸出援助之手并握住他的手更好的了”符合句意。
40.A 由本段中心句“Spend quality time with people you love.”以及下文“People don’t live forever.”可知,设空处说明要珍惜时间,与下一句一同来说明中心句的内容。故A项“光阴一去不复返”符合句意。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。幸福是一种选择,与经济状况、身体状况等没有必然的联系。一个善于发现日常生活点点滴滴的人,一定可以发现真正的幸福是什么。
41.C 根据前面的“a pleasant breeze”可知,微风应是轻柔地吹过作者的脸颊。strongly“强壮地”;gradually“逐渐地”;gently“轻柔地”;normally“正常地”。故选C项。
42.D 根据后面的“clothes that seemed to be found in a dustbin”可知,这位母亲的衣服似乎是从垃圾桶里捡的,因此衣服是脏的。dirty意为“脏的”,故选D项。
43.C 根据后面的“things they don’t need”可推断,这里是说把不需要的东西扔掉(throw)。
44.D 根据上下文可推断出,本句指幸运的人很轻易地把他们不需要的东西扔掉,丝毫没有(without)考虑到不幸的人。
45.A 开头提到这是一个凉爽的秋天的清晨,因此可推断出母亲抱紧孩子是为了不让其受凉。cold“寒冷”;light“光”;sound“声音”;fact“事实”。故选A项。
46.B 根据上文语境可知,母亲想要钱是为了买(buy)吃的。故选B项。
47.D 对比这位母亲的状况,作者感到自己很幸运。wealthy“富裕的”;special“特殊的”;successful“成功的”;lucky“幸运的”。故选D项。
48.A 由上文可知,这位母亲在乞讨,所以这位男士应该是捐赠给那位母亲一些钱和食物。donate意为“捐赠”,故选A项。
49.B 根据下文可知,母亲受到帮助后,脸上因为高兴而绽放光彩(shining)。故选B项。
50.D 母亲高兴是因为至少这一天可以有东西喂孩子了。improve“提升”;protect“保护”;deliver“传递”;feed“喂养”。故选D项。
51.C 作者受到启发,认为幸福不是取决于运气、经济状况或身体状况,而是取决于自己。depend on意为“取决于”,故选C项。

54.B 留意生活中的点点滴滴会改变人的生活,这是令人惊奇的事情。comforting“令人欣慰的”;amazing“令人惊奇的”;disappointing“令人失望的”;satisfying“令人满意的”。故选B项。

58.their 考查代词。此处需用形容词性物主代词作定语,故填their。
59.given 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,设空处作suggestions的后置定语,give和其逻辑主语some suggestions之间是被动关系,故用过去分词given。
60.is 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知,此处为动词-ing短语作主语,谓语动词应用单数,本文以一般现在时为主,故填is。
61.that/which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,设空处引导定语从句,先行词为vitamins and minerals,故引导词用that/which,在从句中作主语。

第一节
Last week,we took the foreign students to experience the authentic tea culture,which turned out to be extremely rewarding.
On arriving at the tea house,the foreign students were impressed by the unique tea pots and tea cups.I gave them a vivid introduction of tea culture and taught them how to make tea.Then I asked them to have a try.Washing the tea pots,adding tea leaves,and pouring water into the cups,they followed my instructions and immersed themselves in the charming tea culture.
At the end of the activity,we took a picture to memorize the unforgettable day.
第二节
Moved beyond words,the driver cooled his anger.He hurriedly lifted the handicapped boy back into the wheelchair.On seeing the bleeding cuts,the man took out his white handkerchief and wiped the wound gently with great care.A quick look told him that everything was going to be okay.When the driver was about to leave,the young brother stepped forward.“Thank you and may God bless you,” said the grateful child,tears filling his eyes.
The driver watched the boy push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home.It was a long,slow walk back to the Jaguar.The damage was very noticeable,but the driver never bothered to repair the damaged side door.He kept it there to remind him of this message:“Don’t go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention!” God whispers in our souls and speaks to our hearts.Sometimes when we don’t have time to listen,he has to throw a brick at us.It’s our choice to listen or not.模块综合测评三

Looking back on my childhood,I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made.
Although we were all brought up in the same way,my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects.Unlike them,I had no ear for music and languages.I was not an early reader and I could not do mental maths.
I have only the unmemorable memory of the house we lived in,of my room and my toys.Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents,aunts,uncles and cousins who gathered next door.But I do have a crystal clear memory of the dogs,the farm animals,the local birds,and above all the insects.
I am a naturalist,not a scientist.I have a strong love of the natural world,and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations.I love discussing my favourite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other people’s observations and discoveries.Then something happens,which brings these observations together in my conscious mind.This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books,which some might honour with the title of scientific research.
But curiosity,a keen eye,a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist:One of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline,a quality I lack.A scientist requires not only self-discipline but all training,determination and a goal.A scientist,up to a point,can be made.A naturalist is born.If you can combine the two,you get the best of both worlds.
24.What impressed the author deeply during his childhood
A.Wildlife. B.Music.
C.Languages. D.Literature.
25.Why can’t the author remember his relatives clearly
A.He didn’t live with them for long.
B.The family was extremely large.
C.He was fully occupied with observing nature.
D.He was too young when he lived with them.
26.According to the author,what personality should a born naturalist have first of all
A.Being knowledgeable. B.Being self-disciplined.
C.Being full of ambition. D.Being full of enthusiasm.
27.Why does the author say he is a naturalist,not a scientist
A.He thinks he lacks some quality required of a scientist.
B.He thinks he has much trouble doing mental arithmetic.
C.He thinks he comes up with solutions in a most natural way.
D.He thinks he just reads about other people’s observations.

In the mid-1990s,Tom Bissell taught English as a volunteer in Uzbekistan.He left after seven months,physically broken and having lost his mind.A few years later,still attracted to the country,he returned to Uzbekistan to write an article about the disappearance of the Aral Sea.
His visit,however,ended up involving a lot more than that.Hence this book,Chasing the Sea:Lost Among the Ghosts of Empire in Central Asia,which talks about a road trip from Tashkent to Karakalpakstan,where millions of lives have been destroyed by the slow drying up of the sea.It is the story of an American travelling to a strange land,and of the people he meets on his way:Rustam,his translator,a lovely 24-year-old who picked up his colourful English in California,Oleg and Natasha,his hosts in Tashkent,and a string of foreign aid workers.
This is a quick look at life in Uzbekistan,made of friendliness and warmth,but also its darker side of society.In Samarkand,Mr Bissell admires the architectural wonders,while on his way to Bukhara he gets a taste of police methods when suspected of drug dealing.In Ferghana,he attends a mountain funeral(葬礼) followed by a strange drinking party.And in Karakalpakstan,he is saddened by the dust storms,diseases and fishing boats stuck miles from the sea.
Mr Bissell skillfully organizes historical insights and cultural references,making his tale a well-rounded picture of Uzbekistan,seen from Western eyes.His judgment and references are decidedly American,as well as his delicate stomach.As the author explains,this is neither a travel nor a history book,or even a piece of reportage.Whatever it is,the result is a fine and vivid description of the purest of Central Asian traditions.
28.What made Mr Bissell return to Uzbekistan
A.His friends’ invitation. B.His interest in the country.
C.His love for teaching. D.His desire to regain health.
29.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to
A.Developing a serious mental disease.
B.Taking a guided tour in Central Asia.
C.Working as a volunteer in Uzbekistan.
D.Writing an article about the Aral Sea.
30.Which of the following best describes Mr Bissell’s road trip in Uzbekistan
A.Romantic. B.Eventful.
C.Pleasant. D.Dangerous.
31.What is the purpose of this text
A.To introduce a book.
B.To explain a cultural phenomenon.
C.To remember a writer.
D.To recommend a travel destination.

Owning a smartphone may not be as smart as you think.It may let you surf the Internet,listen to music and snap photos wherever you are...but it also turns you into a workaholic,it seems.
A study suggests that,by giving you access to emails at all times,the all-singing,all-dancing mobile phone adds as much as two hours to your working day.Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles.
The study by technology retailer Pixmania reveals the average UK working day is between 9 and 10 hours,but a further two hours is spent responding to or sending work emails,or making work calls.More than 90 percent of office workers have email-enabled phones,with a third accessing them more than 20 times a day.Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails.Some workers confess(承认) they are on call almost 24 hours a day,with nine out of ten saying they make work emails and calls outside their normal working hours.The average time for first checking emails is between 6 am and 7 am,with more than a third checking their first emails in this period,and a quarter checking them between 11 pm and midnight.
Ghadi Hobeika,marketing director of Pixmania,said,“The ability to access literally millions of apps,keep in contact via social networks and take photos and video as well as text and call has made smartphones invaluable for many people.However,there are drawbacks.Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day,seven days a week,and smartphones mean that people literally cannot get away from work.The more constantly in contact we become,the more is expected of us in a work capacity(职位).”
32.What can we conclude from the text
A.All that glitters is not gold. B.It never rains but pours.
C.Every coin has two sides. D.It’s no good crying over spilt milk.
33.What does the underlined word “accessing” in the third paragraph mean
A.Calling. B.Reaching.
C.Getting. D.Using.
34.Which of the following is true according to the text
A.The average UK working time is between nine and twelve hours.
B.Nine-tenths spent over three hours checking work emails.
C.One-fourth check their first emails between 11 pm and midnight.
D.The average time for first checking emails is between 6 am and 8 am.
35.What’s the main idea of the text
A.Workaholics like smartphones. B.Smartphones bring about extra work.
C.Smartphones make our life easier. D.Employers don’t like smartphones.

Why do students put off a big project until the last minute Believe it or not,it’s not because they are lazy,or they don’t want to perform well in school.They just always put more value on what is happening today than what will happen tomorrow.In addition,a big project may seem hard for them at the beginning. 36 Therefore,as a parent,helping your child break the project down into manageable parts such as researching,writing,and editing is necessary,which will help your child develop and practise his or her project planning and time management skills. 37
However,some children procrastinate (拖延) because they are afraid to fail or think they can’t live up to expectations. 38 For example,you can point out his or her efforts and past achievements,which can help your child develop a more positive attitude towards his or her work,making it easier to get started.
39 Children’s attention can be easily taken away from everything going on around them,such as toys,pets,even your conversation with others. 40 But you need to make sure this space has materials your child will need,including pencils,paper and erasers.Then your kid will be focused for a while.
A.So you should help build your child’s confidence.
B.A proper study space is also important to little kids.
C.They may not know how to get started by themselves.
D.Fears of failure and making mistakes are major causes of procrastination.
E.To avoid these,it’s better to create an especially quiet space for your child.
F.Then,he or she can deal with each task step by step until the project is done.
G.Find ways to make your child’s homework less like work and more interesting.

Deep in the forest,my husband and I had fun climbing over and crawling under the downed trees that blocked the dirt path before us.It was May,yet we walked up a snow-covered hill.When we noticed our jeans were wet up to our knees,it did not dampen our spirits.Not once did we say,“let’s turn around.” This was our vacation,and we were on an adventure.Little did we know this was the beginning of many more surprises.
The trail was marked as an easy one-kilometre hike,yet we were already walking a long distance.Our lightheartedness stopped when we came out into a clearing and saw a parking lot without our rental car in it.As my eyes scanned the surroundings,nothing looked familiar.My heart raced.I realised we were lost in a national park that did not officially open for another week.
Usually,I am the calm one in the relationship,but my husband surprised me with his calmness.This did not comfort me;in fact,it heightened my fear.As we walked,I asked my husband to call for help,but there was no cellphone signal in this isolated (偏僻的) area.
It was awfully quiet except for our footsteps hitting the road,and my heavy breathing.My husband suggested we conserve energy and walk slower.With each step on the road,my feet and thighs hurt while my mind raced with thoughts about people who got lost in the Canadian woods for days.
My vision sharpened.I noticed everything around me:the trees,rocks and snow.I thought we could eat the snow on the ground in case we needed water.For the first time in my life,I was ready and willing to get a ride,but we did not meet with a single car on the road.Silently,I prayed multiple times.We focused on each other,made joint decisions and connected through gratitude.We managed to stay on the main road and walked straight on.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
My husband suddenly spotted a small building on a hill in the distance.
Just then,a friendly woman appeared,saying,“Hello.”

M:Well,let’s put the details into the computer.
W:OK,it’s small and it’s black.
M:Were there any items inside it
W:Yes.I had office keys in there.My house keys were in my pocket.Um,there were a lot of documents.But the thing I’m really worried about—I mean,there is a camera I just bought.
M:It was yesterday.So that was on May 13th.
W:Yes.I was heading to my home.I was very tired when I was in the airport.I think that’s why I just forgot about the case.
M:What kind of transport were you using
W:I thought about getting the train,but that would have meant a bus journey as well,and I couldn’t be bothered so I decided to take a taxi at last.That’s where I must have left it.
M:Well,if someone hands it in,we’ll let you know.
W:Thanks.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了与健身运动、饮食营养、阅读书籍相关的三款应用程序。
21.D 细节理解题。根据Aaptiv中的内容可知,这款应用的突出之处在于:它将教练和私人教练的音频指令与你喜欢的歌曲搭配在一起,而不是枯燥乏味的录制好的歌曲,因此它比大多数录制的健身活动更吸引人。由此可知,Aaptiv最吸引人的地方是它提供以训练者为主导的训练,配上你喜欢的音乐。
22.A 细节理解题。根据MyFitnessPal中的内容可知,该应用程序可以将锻炼和营养计划结合在一起。这个免费的应用程序可以跟踪你的个人饮食和锻炼情况,根据你的体型和锻炼情况来确定最佳卡路里摄入量。它甚至可以让你扫描食品条形码,或者手动输入食品编码,从而获得准确的卡路里和营养数据。由此可知,人们下载MyFitnessPal最可能的目的是在运动的同时搭配正确的饮食。
23.B 细节理解题。根据Amazon Kindle中的内容可知,为了增加阅读乐趣,Kindle采用了来自亚马逊的技术,允许你在所有设备上同步上一次阅读的页面、书签、亮点和笔记;它还包括一个内置的字典,使人们在阅读时很容易查找新单词;Kindle应用程序还提供了谷歌搜索和维基百科。由此可知,Kindle有3个优点,可以提供更好的阅读体验。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过自身的经历明白了一个道理:博物学家是天生的,而科学家则是可以后天培养的。
24.A 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“But I do have a crystal clear memory of the dogs,the farm animals,the local birds,and above all the insects.”可知,作者在童年时,印象深刻的是那些野生生物。
25.C 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“But I do have a crystal clear memory of the dogs,the farm animals,the local birds,and above all the insects.”可推知,作者童年时期过于专注自然界因而对周围的亲戚并不是很在意,所以对他们没有深刻的印象,这与第四段第二句中的“I have a strong love of the natural world”呼应。
26.D 推理判断题。根据第四段前两句“I am a naturalist,not a scientist.I have a strong love of the natural world,and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations.”可知,作者从小热爱自然界,而且这种热情使作者做了很多不同的调查,成了一个博物学家。由此可推知,一个天生的博物学家首先要充满热情。
27.A 细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“But curiosity,a keen eye,a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist:One of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline,a quality I lack.”可知,作者认为自己只是一个博物学家而不是一个科学家,因为自己缺乏成为科学家的必备素质。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。Bissell先生重回乌兹别克斯坦,将旅途中所见所闻写成一本书,融入历史洞见和文化内涵,从西方人的角度全方位地再现了乌兹别克斯坦的现状。
28.B 细节理解题。由第一段第三句可知,Bissell先生之所以回到乌兹别克斯坦,是因为他被这个国家深深吸引。故选B项。
29.D 代词指代题。由第一段末句以及第二段第一句可知,代词that指代上文中出现的Bissell回到乌兹别克斯坦,所写的一篇关于咸海消失的文章。故选D项。
30.B 推理判断题。由第三段的描述可知,Bissell的乌兹别克斯坦之行充满了友善和温暖,也了解到了社会的阴暗面。在前往布哈拉的途中他曾被怀疑贩毒被警方拘捕。在费尔干纳,他参加了一个葬礼,后又参加了一场怪异的酒会。在卡拉卡尔帕克斯坦他又遭遇了沙尘暴、疾病及渔船被困等事情,所以说Bissell的乌兹别克斯坦之行有很多变故。故选B项。
31.A 写作意图题。作者开门见山,提到Bissell先生回到乌兹别克斯坦来写一篇关于咸海消失的文章。接下来介绍他此行远远超越了这一点,他出版了《追寻大海:消失在中亚帝国的魂魄中》一书,讲述了旅途中的种种经历。最后一段指出,Bissell以高超的技艺将历史洞见和文化内涵融入他的故事中,从西方人的视角全方位地再现乌兹别克斯坦的现状。所以本文作者旨在推介一本书。故选A项。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍使用智能手机也许并不像你想的那样明智。使用智能手机可以让你随时随地上网、听音乐、拍照片……但也可能让你变成工作狂。最新调查显示,智能手机能让你随时查收邮件,因此这种花哨的手机会让你每天的工作时间延长多达两个小时。
32.C 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“It may let you surf the Internet,listen to music and snap photos wherever you are...but it also turns you into a workaholic,it seems.”可知,文章主要介绍了使用智能手机不好的方面,虽然可以给人们提供很多方便,但是也会无形中延长人们的工作时间,由此可知C项“凡事都有两面”符合题意。
33.D 词义猜测题。本段介绍人们对手机的使用情况,故判断意思是“使用”。根据文章第二段首句“A study suggests that,by giving you access to emails at all times,the all-singing,all-dancing mobile phone adds as much as two hours to your working day.”可知,一项研究表明,在任何时候都可以访问电子邮件让你的工作日增加了两个小时。access的词义也可由此进行推断,故答案应为D项。
34.C 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“and a quarter checking them between 11 pm and midnight”可知,四分之一的人在晚上十一点和午夜之间检查他们的邮件。故选C项。
35.B 主旨大意题。文章首段提出“...but it also turns you into a workaholic,it seems.”,然后在下文进行了详细的介绍,由此判断文章中心内容是讲述智能手机无形中延长了工作时间,故选B项。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了青少年拖延症的成因以及帮助他们摆脱拖延症的方法。
36.C 上一句“In addition,a big project may seem hard for them at the beginning.”提到,在开始的时候,一个大项目对于青少年来说可能看起来很难。C项“他们可能不知道怎样独自开始”承接上文,符合语境,故选C项。
37.F 上文“helping you child break the project down into manageable parts such as researching,writing,and editing is necessary”提到,把大项目切分成可以完成的小部分,比如研究、写和编辑等,是非常有必要的。由此可知,这些大项目需要一步一步完成。F项“然后,他或者她就可以一步一步地完成每项任务,直到完成整个项目”承接上文,故选F项。
38.A 根据上文“they are afraid to fail or think they can’t live up to expectations”可知,有些孩子做事拖延是因为害怕失败或者辜负期望。A项“所以你应该帮助你的孩子建立自信”承接上文,故选A项。
39.B 根据下文“Children’s attention can be easily taken away from everything going on around them”可知,孩子们的注意力很容易受周围的影响。结合全段内容推知,此段主要介绍空间和环境的重要性。B项“一个合适的学习空间对小孩来说也很重要”符合语境,故选B项。
40.E 根据上文“Children’s attention can be easily taken away from everything going on around them,such as toys,pets,even your conversation with others.”可知,上文讲的是孩子们的注意力很容易受周围的影响,例如玩具和宠物,甚至是你和其他人的对话。E项“为了避免这些,最好为你的孩子创造一个极其安静的环境”承接上文,其中的these就是指上一句中的“toys,pets,even your conversation with others”。故选E项。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者是一位澳大利亚的老师,几年前到日本教英语,发现日本学生与澳大利亚学生的一个很大的不同点在于,日本学生从小注重团队意识的培养,作者由此感悟到文化的不同。
41.B 根据文章首句和第二段中的“everyone was speaking in English”可知,作者去日本教授“英语”(English)。
42.B 根据对全文内容的把握,此句为下文的总结句,是说作者根据自己的切身经历,很快“意识到”(realised)两个国家的学校的不同。
43.A 根据文章第三段和最后一段的信息可知,在日本课堂上往往进行“小组”(groups)活动。
44.C 根据第三段中的“debate with different viewpoints”可知,作者让他们去“讨论”(discuss)。
45.C 根据作者在澳大利亚的以往经验,这“意味着”(meant)一节很成功的课,因为课堂上学生各抒己见,气氛热烈。
46.D 根据第二段首句中的“In my first class”可知,作者想在日本课堂上“尝试一下”(tried)。
47.C 根据上文“a successful lesson—everyone was speaking in English”可知,作者很“自信”(confident)。
48.A 根据空格前的Instead of以及下文“there was almost silence”中的silence可知,答案为A项。此处表示没有出现“喧闹的”(noisy)辩论场景。
49.B 根据前后文信息,尤其是“briefly and quietly within their groups”可知,“低语”(whispered)符合语境,其他三个词都有大声的氛围。
50.C 对于反差很大的课堂氛围,作者自然很“诧异”(surprised)。注意后文中“but I now realise that the students were acting as a team”也是暗示。
51.D 根据后面作者的解释可知,此处应是come to understand“最终明白”。
52.B 根据第四段中的解释可知,日本学生常被“组织”(organised)进行分组活动。force“强迫”;organise“组织”;change“改变”;introduce“介绍”。根据句意可知选B项。
53.A continue“继续,延续”;appear“出现”;pass“通过”;deliver“传送”。此处指这种对团队意识的注重延续(continues)到了(将来的)工作场合和社会的各个方面。
54.B 根据下文“not the group”可知,澳大利亚教育强调的是“个体”(individual)的重要性。friendship“友谊”;individual“个体”;ability“能力”;competition“竞争”。故选B项。
55.C 根据全文内容和第一段最后一句可知,C项正确。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了“第三文化的孩子们”这个术语的出现背景以及“第三文化的孩子们”的学习及心理现状。
56.totally 考查副词。此处应填total的副词形式修饰形容词different。
57.was used 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。此处是句子的谓语动词,由in the 1960s判断时态应为一般过去时;主语The term和use之间是被动关系,故用一般过去时的被动语态;主语是单数,故be用was。
58.researching 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此处是while引导的状语从句的省略形式,完整的句子应是“She first came across this phenomenon while she was researching North American children living in India.”。当时间/条件/让步状语从句的主语与主句主语一致,且从句谓语有be动词时,可省略从句的主语和be动词。
59.their 考查代词。此处应用they的形容词性物主代词修饰名词experience。
60.difficulties 考查名词复数。由many判断此处用difficulty的复数形式。
61.to 考查介词。此处考查短语adapt...to...“使……适应……”。
62.to develop 考查非谓语动词。此处考查固定句型find it+adj.+to do sth“发现做某事怎么样”,其中it是形式宾语,to do sth是真正的宾语。
63.easier 考查形容词比较级。根据than判断此处应用easy的比较级作为is的表语。
64.where 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,此处是定语从句的关系词,先行词the country在从句中充当地点状语,应用关系副词where。
65.or 考查连词。句意:她对当前的电视节目或时尚潮流一无所知。根据语境可知,上下文是并列关系,设空处意为“或者”,应使用连词or。

第一节
Dear Henry,
I’m glad to have received your letter.It’s a pleasure for me to tell you my plan of this coming summer vacation.
First of all,a good rest is needed because I do feel tired after the hard work of all these years.Of course,I’ll do some reading for fun,and for knowledge as well.I’ll spend some time staying with my parents,chatting with them and doing some housework.If possible,I’ll take part in some social activities so that I can know more about the society.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
My husband suddenly spotted a small building on a hill in the distance.In no time did we find ourselves heading for it.We were filled with hope and excitement to find such a building in the middle of nowhere.We climbed up the hill at a swinging pace as if all the pains were gone.As we approached,a sign came into sight,which read:Administration Office.However,it was not open for business.The empty hall made us nervous all at once.We stood there hopelessly wondering what to do next.
Just then,a friendly woman appeared,saying,“Hello.”I could barely hold back my enthusiasm and blurted out,“We’re lost!” She comforted us and opened a room for us to take a break.Seeing we were cold and hungry,she treated us with hot chocolate.After studying the map,we figured out that our car was parked over three kilometres away.She offered us a ride back to our car and we accepted gladly.I felt relieved to see our rental car again.What a blessing to have such an unforgettable experience!模块综合测评一

“Hey,how are you doing What grade are you in What’s your favorite book Yeah,I got it.”
You probably thought you’d walked into a library with a greeting like that.In fact,you’ve entered the workplace of Courtney Holmes,the Storybook Barber.
Two years ago,Dubuque,Iowa,held its first annual Back to School Bash,offering needy families a chance to learn about free resources in the community.Holmes agreed to take part in it.He was holding two jobs at the time—one with the city’s public works department,the other as a barber.Saturday was his busiest haircutting day,but he chose to devote his time to underprivileged(底层的) kids so they’d look sharp on that first day of classes.But then he had a sudden idea.“The kids should earn their free haircut by having to read a book to me,” Holmes said.
The idea was so popular that he continued it the first Tuesday of every month for the next two years.Five to ten years old kids would hold a favorite book,settle into the barber chair,and read aloud while Holmes gave them a haircut.If they had any difficulty,Holmes was there to help.After the haircut,they’d review the book,from the characters and vocabularies to the themes—just like in school,only more fun.“These kids are eager to learn,” said Holmes.“And they are able to open their hearts there.”
Holmes admitted he,too,benefited from the activity.“There was a seven-year-old boy who struggled through his book,stuttering(口吃) over words even though he didn’t have a stutter,” said Holmes.He had the boy take the book home and practice.“When the child came back next time,he read it with no problems.That inspired me.”
24.Why did Holmes take part in Back to School Bash
A.To reduce the parents’ pressure. B.To earn more money.
C.To help poor kids look good. D.To work in the local schools.
25.How often did Holmes provide free haircuts during the two years
A.Once a year. B.Every Tuesday.
C.Every weekend. D.Once a month.
26.What can we learn about Holmes’ young customers
A.There are more boys than girls.
B.They are students with reading problems.
C.They learn more here than in school.
D.They get along well with Holmes.
27.What can we best describe Holmes as
A.A responsible social worker.
B.A hard-working barber.
C.A kind-hearted volunteer.
D.A busy and loving parent.
C
A new study,published in the journal Frontiers in Veterinary Science,reveals that non-human animals’ tears are not so different from our own.The chemical similarities are so great,in fact,that the composition of other species’ tears—and how they’re adapted to their environments—may provide insights into better treatments for human eye disease.
Previously,scientists had studied closely only the tears of a handful of mammals,including humans,dogs,horses,camels and monkeys.In the new study,Brazilian veterinarians analyzed the tears of reptiles and birds for the first time,focusing on seven species.
Tears,which are released from tear tubes,form a film over the eye that’s composed of three ingredients:mucus,waler and oil.The mucus coats the eye’s surface and helps to attach the film to the eye,the water is a natural salty solution containing crucial proteins and minerals,and the oil prevents the eye from drying out.
Humans are the only known species to produce emotional tears;the expression “crocodile tears”,which refers to a person’s phony display of emotion,comes from the mysterious tendency of crocodiles to release tears as they eat.
But tears play key roles beyond weeping,notes Lionel Sebbag at Iowa State University,who was not involved in the new research.They help with vision by lubricating(润滑) and clearing the eye.They also protect the eye against infection and provide nutrition for the cornea,the eye’s clear outer layer,which lacks blood tubes,he says.
Learning how reptiles and birds use tears may also inspire new medications for conditions such as dry eyes,which occurs when tear tubes don’t produce enough oil.The disease,common in cats,dogs and people,can sometimes lead to blindness.
28.What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A.The source of tears. B.The composition of tears.
C.The classification of tears. D.The definition of tears.
29.What does the underlined word “phony” in paragraph 4 mean
A.Tricky. B.Regretful.
C.Cold. D.False.
30.Which statement does Lionel Sebbag agree with
A.Weeping contributes to eye disease. B.The cornea has rich blood tubes.
C.Tears oil and clear the eyes. D.More tears mean better vision.
31.What might be the best title for the text
A.Tears,a Barrier to Eyes
B.A Better Treatment for Eye Disease
C.Non-human Tears Promise New Cures
D.Other Species’ Tears Are Similar to Humans’
D
The Pomodoro technique is probably one of the most powerful techniques in all of learning.All you have to do is set a timer for 25 minutes,and then just focus as attentively as you can for those 25 minutes.
Now if you start focusing on your work,and then you look up at the timer and two minutes have passed,you may feel like you can’t hold on.And just let the thought go by,and return your focus to whatever you are working on.And when that 25 minutes is up,you relax a little bit.You might wonder why that 25 minutes is the magic number,and the reality is we don’t really know.There’s not a lot of research on the Pomodoro technique,which is surprising because it’s so incredibly popular and people find it very useful.
But there’s an interesting tidbit(小趣闻) related to the Pomodoro technique—when you just think about something that you don’t like very much,it stimulates a part of the brain that experiences pain.And so the brain naturally enough shifts its attention to something else,like Meta or Twitter or something like that.
And how does the Pomodoro technique work,when you do it You don’t want to sit there and think,“I’m going to work on this problem and get it all finished.”You just want to think,“I’ve got 25 minutes where I just have to work on something.” Don’t even think about what that thing is.What that does is that it slips in under your brain’s radar.It doesn’t stimulate so much that pain in your brain;and then that pain in the brain,research has shown,lasts for 20 minutes.
So if you work for 25 minutes,you will suddenly find yourself getting into the flow because you’ve gone past that painful period.So the Pomodoro technique is effective in many different aspects.
32.Which is an example of using the Pomodoro technique
A.Reading a novel for 25 minutes.
B.Spending 25 minutes scanning WeChat.
C.Setting a timer for 25 minutes to do a tough task.
D.Attending a lecture for 25 minutes with two minds.
33.What can be inferred about the Pomodoro technique from paragraph 2
A.The first two minutes is vital. B.25 minutes is a magic number.
C.More research is around the corner. D.You may get discouraged when using it.
34.Why is the tidbit mentioned in paragraph 3
A.To further explain the Pomodoro technique.
B.To arouse interest in the Pomodoro technique.
C.To highlight how to use the Pomodoro technique.
D.To prove the effectiveness of the Pomodoro technique.
35.How does the Pomodoro technique work
A.It boosts your concentration. B.It helps your mind go faster.
C.It urges you to finish your work. D.It shortens the pain time in your brain.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Reading books can exercise your brain.Kids who started reading at an earlier age go on to perform better on certain intelligence tests.As one gets older,it might help slow down or even stop cognitive(认知的) decline. 36 Many Americans don’t read frequently.It’s time to reverse (反转) this trend to give your brain’s gray matter a good workout.
37 When you have some down time—you’re waiting for a friend,or doing a task that doesn’t require your full attention—you can open your text instead of pulling up your favorite smartphone game. 38 While paper is still the clear winner in the court of public opinion,science hasn’t proven that physical books are better than digital ones.
Academic research has mostly focused on the ability to remember.A study took place in a laboratory setting:Students all read the same text,but some looked at the words on paper and others viewed an on-screen PDF.It turned out that no meaningful difference between the two media existed.As for audiobooks,they affected the brain’s gray matter somewhat differently. 39
Ultimately,if you hope to get a reading habit going,you shouldn’t dismiss any form of books. 40 Don’t be afraid to change things up depending on the occasion.
A.Audiobooks still affect your thoughts and feelings.
B.Go with what makes the most sense for your needs.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
We were bathed in the sunshine of weekend when an adventurous idea hit me,to go to Panisha Island for a brand new weekend with my brother Jack!Jack was a good partner,quick-minded and calm when in trouble.
An adventure waited for us ahead.It was only a little after 12:00 o’clock and it couldn’t hurt to go on a little exploration time.Could it
We didn’t want to play games at home anyway so I asked Mum,“Can we go to Panisha Island to explore ”
“Oh alright!I guess it’s only a short boat ride away.Be back by 5:00 o’clock!”Mum answered us.
We thanked Mum and got on our blue bike.We got to the pier (码头) and bought a two-way ticket to Panisha and back.The sea air blew on our face like silk.I stared out into the sea.I must have stared for a while because soon I heard “PANISHA ISLAND!”
The moment we got off the boat,we were fascinated with everything around,the clear water,the blue skies,the singing of the birds...but we had no time to appreciate these.We impatiently rushed to what was called Tiger Jungle,surrounded by vast expanses of jungle with various puzzles and traps waiting for us to explore.Lizards,birds,and lots of bugs.Suddenly a rabbit sprung out,staring at us,as if to ask us where we were from.Bees and spiders were also annoying unprepared us.Seeing a snake winding its way in the bushes farther,I let out a scream!Jack smiled slyly (顽皮地) and commanded me to be calm.
A tough passageway led us to natural pools,shallow waters with fishing spots,overgrown bushes and even a plane crash site.“Why not catch some fish here ” I excitedly suggested.Jack was hesitating when a roar(吼叫),like a true tiger,came out from the farther jungle!Jack thought hard and decided to get back quickly.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Suddenly,I missed a step and fell into the pool.
There was not much time left for the return trip.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个节日,包括它们的时间、地点、节日活动等基本信息。
21.B 细节理解题。根据Portland Rose Festival中提到的时间“May”和Rocklahoma Music Festival提到的时间“May”可知,这两个节日的共同之处就是都在五月份举行。
22.C 细节理解题。根据Portland Rose Festival中的“Children enjoy the Junior Rose Festival with their own parade and a royal court.”可知,孩子们可以有自己的游行。
23.D 细节理解题。根据TomorrowWorld中的“Hidden deep in the forest of Chattahoochee Hills...As a result,their annual festival is a perfect mix of nature and creative fun.”可知,如果你喜欢接近大自然,应该参加TomorrowWorld这个节日。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。在为贫困家庭的孩子们提供免费理发服务活动时,理发师 Courtney Holmes突发奇想,要求孩子们通过读书来换取免费理发的机会。这个主意大受欢迎,他在接下来的两年内每月为孩子们免费理发一次,孩子们朗读有问题时,他会帮助他们。
24.C 细节理解题。由第三段中的“Holmes agreed to take part in it”和“but he chose to...so they’d look sharp on that first day of classes”可知,Holmes 参加Back to School Bash是想要通过为贫困孩子们理发,让他们更好看。故C项正确。
25.D 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句和第四段第一句中的“he continued it the first Tuesday of every month for the next two years”可知,在接下来的两年里,Holmes会在每个月的第一个星期二免费为孩子们理发,故这种服务每个月一次,故D项正确。
26.D 推理判断题。根据第四段第二、三句可知,五到十岁的孩子们会拿着一本最喜欢的书,坐在理发椅上,在Holmes给他们理发时大声朗读;如果他们有困难,Holmes会帮忙。据此可以判断,Holmes和这些孩子们相处得很好,故D项正确。
27.C 推理判断题。通读第三段可知,Holmes参加了志愿服务活动,为社区贫困的孩子们提供免费理发服务;结合第四段可知,Holmes让孩子们通过读书来换取免费理发的机会,并在他们有朗读上的问题时帮助他们,提高了他们的阅读能力。据此可以推知,Holmes是一位善良的志愿者,故C 项正确。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。一项新研究表明,动物的眼泪与人类的眼泪并没有太大不同,实际上这些眼泪为治愈人类的一些眼科疾病提供了思路。
28.B 段落大意题。第三段的意思是,眼泪从泪管中释放出来,在眼睛上形成一层薄膜,它由三种成分组成:粘液、水和油脂。故本段主要讲了眼泪的成分,选B项。
29.D 词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“display of emotion,comes from the mysterious tendency of crocodiles to release tears as they eat”可知,鳄鱼进食的时候会流泪,所以“鳄鱼的眼泪”指的是一个人虚假的情感表达。即画线词意思是“虚假的”。tricky“狡猾的”;regretful“后悔的”;cold“寒冷的”;false“虚假的”。故选D项。
30.C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“But tears play key roles beyond weeping...help with vision by lubricating and clearing the eye.”可知,爱荷华州立大学的Lionel Sebbag指出,眼泪的作用除了哭泣之外,还包括通过润滑和清洁眼睛来保护视力。Lionel Sebbag可能同意C项“眼泪可以润滑和清洁眼睛”的观点。
31.C 主旨大意题。由第一段可知,发表在《兽医科学前沿》上的一项新研究表明,动物的眼泪与人类的眼泪并没有太大不同。事实上,它们的化学成分非常相似,研究其他物种的眼泪的组成以及它们如何适应环境,可能为更好地治疗人类眼科疾病提供了思路。由此可知,文章主要介绍的是动物的眼泪为治疗人类眼科疾病提供了思路,故C项最符合文章标题。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种名为“番茄工作法”的时间管理方法,方法需要设置一个25分钟的计时器,然后尽可能专注地度过这25分钟。这一方法可以提高人的注意力,因而十分有效。
32.C 细节理解题。根据第一段中“All you have to do is set a timer for 25 minutes,and then just focus as attentively as you can for those 25 minutes.”可知,“设置一个25分钟的计时器来完成一项艰巨的任务”是使用番茄工作法的例子。故选C项。
33.D 推理判断题。由第二段中的“Now if you start focusing on your work,and then you look up at the timer and two minutes have passed,you may feel like you can’t hold on.”可知,如果你开始专注于工作,然后抬头看计时器,两分钟过去了,那么你可能会觉得自己撑不住了。由此可推知,在使用番茄工作法时,你可能会感到沮丧。故选D项。
34.A 推理判断题。由第三段中的“But there’s an interesting tidbit related to the Pomodoro technique...like Meta or Twitter or something like that.”可知,但有一个与番茄工作法有关的有趣的小插曲,那就是:当你只是想一些你不太喜欢的东西时,它会刺激大脑中经历疼痛的部分。所以大脑会很自然地将注意力转移到其他东西上,比如Meta或Twitter之类的。由此可推知,第三段提到这个小插曲是为了进一步解释番茄工作法。故选A项。
35.A 推理判断题。由最后一段可知,如果你工作25分钟,你会突然发现自己进入了状态,因为你已经度过了那段痛苦的时期。由此可推知,番茄工作法通过提高你的注意力来起作用。故选A项。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了阅读的好处、如何利用空闲时间读书以及一些与阅读有关的研究。
36.F 上文的意思是,读书可以锻炼你的大脑。更早开始阅读的孩子在某些智力测试中表现得更好。随着年龄的增长,它可能有助于减缓甚至停止认知能力的下降。后文又说,许多美国人不经常读书。上文提到了阅读的好处,后文则说美国人不经常读书,由此可知本句是在说明美国人的阅读时间正在下降。F项中Americans对应后文中Americans。故选F项。
37.E 后文说,当你有空的时候——比如在等朋友的时候,或者在做一件不需要你全神贯注的事情的时候——你可以打开你的文本而不是打开你最喜欢的智能手机游戏。后文提到了利用空闲时候来阅读。因此,本句是在建议随身带上阅读的书籍,故E项“随身携带一本书、电子阅读器或有声读物应用软件”符合语境。
38.D 后文的意思是:虽然纸质书仍然是公众舆论的赢家,但科学还没有证明纸质书比数字书更好。后文提到了纸质书是舆论的赢家,可见本句是在说明这一舆论的内容,后文则说明舆论的结果。D项中debate对应后文中public opinion。故选D项。
39.G 上文说,学术研究主要集中在记忆能力上。在实验室环境下进行了一项研究:所有学生都阅读同样的文本,但一些人看的是纸上的文字,另一些人看的是屏幕上的PDF文件。事实证明,这两种媒体之间并不存在任何有意义的区别。至于有声读物,它们对大脑灰质的影响有所不同。由此可知,上文提到阅读纸上的文字和屏幕上的文字之间并不存在任何有意义的区别,且提到了有声读物对大脑的影响。本句为本段最后一句,应继续说明有声读物对大脑的影响结果是什么。G项中they指代上文audiobooks。故G项“然而,它们对大脑的刺激不亚于黑白纸张”符合语境。
40.B 上文说,如果你希望养成阅读习惯,你就不应该放弃任何形式的读物。后文说,不要害怕根据不同的场合做出改变。由此可知,本句是在说明应该根据需要来做出选择。故B项符合语境。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是一只受伤的考拉来到作者家附近寻求帮助的故事。作者是一名护士,为它疗伤后放它回归了大自然。
41.B 根据下文的“a koala in my neighborhood”可知,此处指“遇到”考拉。句意:这是我第一次在我家附近碰到考拉。grab“攫取,捕获”;encounter“遇到”;investigate“研究,调查”;tackle“解决,处理”。故选B项。

43.D 根据下文的“didn’t like walking,either”可知,考拉“很少”从树上下来。句意:我想知道他为什么会在这里,因为考拉很少从树上下来,也不喜欢走路。frequently“频繁地”;slightly“轻微地”;mostly“主要地”;rarely“很少,难得”。故选D项。
44.D 根据下文的“there was no eucalyptus around”可知,此处指很少见到考拉的另一个理由,所以与上文联系,这里应该是“其次,还有”。once more“再一次”;ever since“从那时到现在”;just then“就在那时”;then again“其次,还有”。故选D项。
45.B 根据上文的“the bushfire across Kangaroo Island”可知,此处指大火把他“逼到了”这里。句意:或者是袋鼠岛的丛林大火把他逼到了这里 pursue“追求,获得”;drive“逼迫,驾驶”;follow“跟随”;cast“投”。故选B项。
46.A 句意:他只是坐在那里,显然很“痛苦”,看着我,好像在让我帮助他摆脱痛苦。in pain“痛苦地”;in order“整齐地”;in comfort“舒适地”;in disappointment“失望地”。故选A项。
47.B 根据下文的“I discovered a long cut at his back with bloods”可知,此处指“靠近”看考拉。句意:靠近一看,我发现他的背部有一道长长的带血迹的伤口,有攻击的迹象,也有其他锋利的东西割伤的痕迹。quick“迅速的”;close“靠近的,紧密的”;eager“渴望的”;anxious“焦虑的”。故选B项。
48.C 根据下文的“attacks or cuts of something sharp in some other way”可知,此处指有受伤的“痕迹”。句意:仔细一看,我发现他的背部有一道长长的伤口,有血迹,有攻击或是其他锋利的东西割伤的痕迹。feature“特征”;symbol“象征,符号”;sign“痕迹”;series“系列”。故选C项。
49.D 根据句意可知,这不是一个“棘手的”问题,因为作者是一名护士。crucial“重要的”;small“小的”;distinct“明显的”;tricky“棘手的”。故选D项。
50.C 根据下文的“my kindness”和“After the treatment”可知,考拉“理解”作者的好意。句意:当我用药水治疗伤口时,这个可怜的家伙似乎完全理解了我的好意。ignore“忽视”;answer“回答”;understand“明白,理解”;anticipate“预料”。故选C项。
51.D 根据下文的“the cut with the liquid”可知,此处指作者为考拉“治疗”伤口。句意:当我用药水治疗伤口时,这个可怜的家伙似乎完全理解了我的好意。touch“触摸,感动”;feel“感觉”;tap“轻敲”;treat“对待,治疗”。故选D项。
52.C 句意:我突然想起他是来寻求我的帮助的!It occurred to sb that...是固定句式,意为“某人突然想起……”。appealed to“呼吁,吸引”;refer to“提到,涉及”;occur to“发生,想起”;address “写收信姓名和地址”。故选C项。
53.A 句意:我突然想起他是来寻求我的帮助的!help“帮助”;advice“建议”;approval“批准,认可”;fortune“运气”。故选A项。
54.D 根据句中的“After the treatment”和“in the wild”可知,考拉“消失”在野外。句意:治疗结束后,我看着这只考拉终于消失在野外,希望他能挺过这段艰难的日子,过自己应该过的生活。explore“探索”;rush“猛冲”;jog“慢跑”;disappear“消失”。故选D项。

【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。英国汉普郡一名男子在自己经营的小商店连续工作38年,每周工作7天,就连圣诞节、复活节等节假日都从未休过一天假。
56.eventually 考查副词。分析句子结构可知,所填的词修饰动词,所以用副词。
57.running 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,前面有谓语动词refused,故所填的词是非谓语动词。逻辑主语He和run是主谓关系,所以用动词-ing形式作伴随状语。
58.an 考查冠词。hour是以元音音素开头的单数可数名词,此处表示数量“一”,所以用不定冠词an。
59.to give 考查非谓语动词。所填的词作定语修饰desire,表示“……的欲望”,所以用动词不定式。
60.best 考查形容词最高级。good是形容词,根据前面的the可知,此处要用最高级,所以填best。
61.took 考查动词时态。根据前文可知,他已经退休了,不再经营商店,所以掌管店铺是过去发生的事情,所以用一般过去时。
62.whom 考查定语从句。本句是“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句,先行词是指人的名词,所以填whom。
63.marriage 考查名词。要填的单词位于介词后,应该用名词作宾语。marry的名词形式是marriage。
64.My 考查代词。所填的词修饰名词view作定语,所以用形容词性物主代词。
65.but 考查连词。根据句意可知,上下文是转折关系,所以填but。
写作
第一节
March 7,SundayFine
Today I participated in a rewarding activity—Tree Planting organized by the Student Union of our school.
Early in the morning,my classmates and I headed for a hill nearby with tools and seedlings.The birds were singing happily,and the butterflies were dancing over the flowers and grass.On our arrival,we got down to working together as planned.Some dug the pits and put seedlings in,some filled the pits with earth,and others watered them.Through our joint efforts,the hillside was lined with rows of seedlings,bathed in the sunshine.
Exhausted as we were,we tasted the joy of labor.
第二节
Suddenly,I missed a step and fell into the pool.I was extremely scared,struggling in the water.Seeing what had happened,Jack swiftly reached out his right hand,but unfortunately beyond my reach.Then he immediately picked up a stick from behind and gave the other end to me.However,the bank of the pool was too slippery and I was too scared to move.“Calm down!Grab at it firmly!” Jack encouraged in a loud voice.With his help and all my strength,I successfully got out.
There was not much time left for the return trip.Afraid of missing the boat back,Jack dragged me to the pier in a hurry.Meanwhile,I was looking back once in a while for fear that a beast might catch us up.We managed to catch the return boat finally but I had not yet got over the scare.Frightened and tired as I was,I congratulated myself on returning safe and sound.My brother and I harvested a meaningful exploration and really spent a brand new weekend.
